Just Add Mana 21 — Ghosts in the Dark, Pt 4

Just Add Mana 16 — Alina the Lunchlady, Archdemon of Shelves

Just Add Mana 13 — Introduction to the Standard Array, Pt 3

Nala Whiteleaf had no idea how Cale had beaten her, but he wasn't going to do it again.

He'd cheated. Somehow. She didn't know how, but he had to have! The Mage Killer had helped him...

Just Add Mana 12 — Introduction to the Standard Array, Pt 2

Cale would be hard-pressed to explain the sequence of events that followed. This was in large part due to the fact that Professor Graystalk didn't seem quite inclined to detach from him just yet, w...

Just Add Mana 11 — Introduction to the Standard Array, Pt 1

Even with the help of his schedule scroll, Cale was almost late for his second class. Almost. He managed to find it eventually, tucked away in a rather nondescript corner of a different bu...

Just Add Mana Audio 1 (??)

One of my friends asked me to record a chapter for them because they prefer audiobooking. I have no idea if this is a thing people want. But uh, since I did it anyway, I figured I would post it. In...

Just Add Mana 10 — Ancient Artifacts, Pt 5

Just Add Mana 8 — Ancient Artifacts, Pt 3

If nothing else, Cale had never actually explored an Ancient Karmian labyrinth before, especially not anything that emerged from the Labyrinth Plague. This was something new for him, and new meant ...

Afterword + Epubs

Forgot to make the epub for Book 3 available, I think, so here it is! I'll have to take it down in a few days though. Book 4's epub will stay up for a while.

I said most of what I wanted to s...

DIE. RESPAWN. REPEAT. — Series Epilogue

DRR Book 4, Chapter 57 — End of an Era

The moment Kauku realizes he's dying, all the fight leaves his body. I suppose he wasn't lying about only being interested in revenge against the other Scions. He doesn't seem to hold much of a gru...

DRR Book 4, Chapter 56 — Path to Victory

Kauku didn't know how any of this was happening. He burned with anger, and for once in the long, long years of his existence, he couldn't take that anger out on everything around him.

More ac...

Just Add Mana 5 — Scheduled to Learn

DRR Book 4, Chapter 55 — Tidebreaker

Kauku couldn't believe what he was sensing. What he was seeing.
